The buttery nutty flavor of the sprouts really comes out when they are fried. In this recipe they are topped with crispy shallots, Serrano peppers and smothered with sweet maple syrup and tangy lime.

SERVING SIZE

4

INGREDIENTS

3-4 cups vegetable oil, for frying (may need more depending on the size of your pot)

12-14 (1 pound) brussels sprouts, cut in half lengthwise

1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

3 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced into rounds

2 Serrano peppers, sliced into rounds

1 lime , zest and juice

1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey

 

INSTRUCTIONS

In a medium deep pot, heat oil over medium-high. When oil reaches 350 degrees on a thermometer, carefully add a third of the Brussels sprouts. (Be careful, they will pop if they have any moisture in them). Cook, turning them over occasionally, until crisp and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon and sprinkle with salt. Fry remaining sprouts in batches, returning oil to 350 degrees between each batch. 

In the same pot using the same oil, add shallots and cook until golden, about 2 minutes.  Transfer to the same tray with the sprouts. Then add the peppers to the oil and fry until crispy and beginning to color, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to tray with sprouts. 

In a large bowl, whisk together the lime zest, juice and maple syrup. Add Brussels sprouts, shallots, and peppers, tossing to coat evenly in lime mixture. Season with more salt to taste. 

Serve immediately
